Optimizing Production Efficiency and Quality with Digitalization (Room 315)

With digitalization and sufficient know-how, steel producers can control and optimize production and product quality seamlessly across the entire process chain. This begins with a highly functional digitalization IT system that collects the right data from automation systems, measurement systems, smart sensors and operators. When these data are combined with digitized know-how from subject matter experts and artificial intelligence algorithms, the data can be transformed into valuable information such as key performance indicators, decisions, advice and actions. This paper explains one such system in detail, including its development, main elements and future outlook. Examples of successful implementation are also presented.
